St. Paul's Matt Vanda ground out a majority decision over Tocker Pudwill of Bismarck, N.D., in a match of 160-pound veterans on Saturday night at Target Center.
The co-main event on the six-bout card went to Wilton Hilario with a fifth-round TKO over Allen Litzau. This was billed as being a fight for the IBA Americas superfeatherweight title.
Litzau's brother, Jason, stopped Phillip Payne earlier in the night with a fifth-round TKO. Phil Williams, a promising 175-pounder, had his bout cancelled when a substitute for an injured opponent weighed in at a too-light 159 pounds.
The attendance was announced at 3,594, more than 1,000 above what promoters said they needed to make a profit on the first of a series of cards planned for Target Center.
